It has been said a few times before so you might want to search a bit this site is great for info, but I use the honda fluid but I might change. Also let us know how the clutch works out. I ended up using the exedy organic.

GM SYNCHRO MESH better than royal purple and just fill it til u cant fill no more haha.. a bunch of my S2k and RX7 Buddies use GM Synchro Mesh on they're manuals and they said you'll notice the biggest difference over anything.. in a good way.. smoother shifts

I'm using Redline right now, moving over to try the Motul synthetic stuff in a week or so. I've been reading on Honda-Tech though (do a search for "synchromesh") and people have been using the GM synchromesh stuff for a while. However there are posts of people saying the Honda MTF has been reformulated and is actually very similar to the GM product.
